As a husband and wife team, we have embarked on an exciting entrepreneurial journey by opening a wholesale mattress company, driven by a convergence of personal and professional factors. I, Benjamin, a dedicated entrepreneur, have spent years building my own successful janitorial business. However, as I’m facing challenges in employee retention and recognizing the physical demands of the industry, I’ve begun to reassess my career path. With my wife, Felisha, a dedicated band director nearing retirement eligibility, we have been drawn to explore opportunities that offer flexibility for our family while ensuring financial stability.
The decision to transition into the furniture industry stems not only from my pragmatic concerns about the future, but also from a profound sense of guidance. Through prayer and discernment, we have been inspired to pursue this venture as a means to provide for our family while contributing positively to our community. With my wife’s impending retirement and our shared desire for a flexible lifestyle, the wholesale mattress business offers the perfect blend of entrepreneurship, financial security, and the freedom to prioritize our family’s well-being.
In embracing this new chapter of our lives, we are excited to combine our respective skills, experiences, and passions to build a thriving enterprise. With a firm foundation of faith, determination, and commitment to excellence, we are confident that this venture will not only allow us the flexibility we seek, but also allow us to make a positive impact in the lives of others. As we embark on this journey together, we are grateful for the opportunity to create a legacy that reflects our values, aspirations, and unwavering trust in the path that lies ahead.
